GolfingEagles: Could part of the problem be that the ER does not have its own lab, etc., and has to use the same lab for tests as the remainder of the hospital? Could this be part of the reason why wait times are so long, and it seems that nobody is doing anything? Could that be because they can't do anything until the results are back? I don't know if this is the case, but it looks to be. I know we have had to wait quite a while to find out what blood work, x-rays, etc. have shown. Then, the doctor would come in with a decision as to treatment or admit for further testing, etc.

Thanks
